Library PSA Contest Deadline Extended...

Are you a budding videographer? Did you get a new Flip camera for Christmas? Want to see just how great a video you can shoot with your iPhone?

You don't have to be a library nerd to enter, you just have to put together a video by January 31 (yes, we've extended the deadline), and you could win a free course. The requirements are simple: a video, 30-45 seconds in length, that uses the phrase, "This is my library."

Get the technical details here: http://ufvlibrary.blogspot.com/2010/11/make-30-second-video-win-free-course

Don't have a video camera but have something great to say? Borrow one from IMS - it's free! They also have video editing stations, and staff who can help you use them.

If you've already submitted a video, don't worry - you're still in the running.

Wishing you happy holidays...

Like all of UFV, the Abbotsford and Chilliwack libraries will close for the winter break at noon on Friday, December 24, and re-open on Tuesday, January 4 at 8:30am. The library on our Mission campus will close at 7pm on Monday, December 20, to re-open at 1pm on Monday, January 10. Library hours for all campus libraries are available on our web site: http://www.ufv.ca/library/hours.htm

The library's web site, however, will remain open 24/7 over the holidays, just in case you get a dose of research fever. (But we hope that's the only fever you get over the holidays...)

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
